Answer: y = 1/9x - 3 8/9

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, you must do y2-y1/x2-x1

-3+5/8+10

2/18

1/9 is the slope.

Then, you put the slope into slope-intercept form and take one of the coordinates and add it into the equation. Let's do the second coordinate.

slope-intercept form is y=mx+b

y=mx+b

-3 = 1/9(8) + b

-3 = 8/9 +b

-3 8/9 = b

y = 1/9x - 3 8/9

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitution method = plug in the slope and the (x, y) point values into y = mx + b, then solve for b. ...

Point-slope form = y − y 1 = m ( x − x 1 ) , where ( x 1 , y 1 ) is the point given and m is the slope given.

Plsss help (Cuz i'm dumb:D) Calculate the surface area of the prism below, shape below

marin [14]

Surface area of the the rectangles:
8 * 5 + 8 * 4 + 8 * 3 = 96

Surface area of the two triangles:
Use bh/2 base time height over 2
(4 * 3)/2 = 6
There are 2 triangles, 2 * 6 = 12

12 + 96 = 108

Consider the problem of finding the line of symmetry and vertex of the quadratic equation f(x) =x^2-8x+15 What is the error in t

Elenna [48]

$\bf \textit{ vertex of a vertical parabola, using coefficients}\\\\
\begin{array}{llccll} f(x) = &{{ 1}}x^2&{{ -8}}x&{{ +15}}\\
&\uparrow &\uparrow &\uparrow \\
&a&b&c
\end{array}\qquad 
\left(-\cfrac{{{ b}}}{2{{ a}}}\quad ,\quad {{ c}}-\cfrac{{{ b}}^2}{4{{ a}}}\right)
\\\\\\
\textit{so the line of symmetry will be at }x=-\cfrac{{{ b}}}{2{{ a}}}$

Use function notation to represent the area of a circle whose circumference is 103 cm

Nataly_w [17]

Circumference of the circle $=103$ cm

i.e., $C = 2 \pi r = 103$

i.e., $r = \frac{103}{2 \pi}$

Area of the circle is given by

$A = \pi r^2$

$A = \pi (\frac{103}{2 \pi})^2$

$A = \pi (\frac{10609}{4 \pi^2})$

$A =\frac{10609}{4 \pi}$

Therefore, the area of the circle is: $A =\frac{10609}{4 \pi}$ $cm^2$

What is 3/10 equal to?

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

1. 3/10 is equal to .3 or 30%

2. 7/10 is equal to .7 or 70%

3. The distributive property of multiplication over addition can be used when you multiply a number by a sum. For example, suppose you want to multiply 3 by the sum of 10 + 2. 3(10 + 2) = (30 +20) you can distribute the value outside of the parentheses to the values inside.
